Awards
Watergems was a winner in the British Association of Landscape Industries landscape awards for 2007 with Inverleith Park Boardwalk and Wetland, Edinburgh.
This involved the regeneration of a part of a long established public pond for the City of Edinburgh Council. The aim was to improve water quality, amenity and biodiversity. This was achieved by using the silt from the base of the pool to create beds that were planted with native wetland plants. All water entering the pool now passes through a gravel based reedbed, and a boardwalk system allows access and enjoyment of the area by the public.
